“This job required a team effort from the Mammal crew because of the creative challenges and the short schedule,” said Mammal Visual Effects Supervisor Gregory Liegey. “I’m proud of what they did in such a demanding time-frame. It helps that Director Rich Lee has a great working knowledge of visual effects and a clear vision for the shots.”

Fellow Mammal Visual Effects Supervisor Gregory Oehler provided crucial look development and execution for some of the innovative concepts sketched out by Lee. Speaking about the project, Oehler said, "With such a short turnaround from look development to delivery, there's no time to experiment. Experience pays dividends on projects like this -- needing to define a look while creating deliverables...it's like hitting a home run on every pitch.”
